The Ability To Accept The Unacceptable


"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

Aristotle

If I had to pick just one indication of a person's management skills, this would be it.

    Probably the best advice I've heard in a long time and not just in our business lives.

    You're absolutely right Carly, this is not just about business. And while simple in concept, being able to honestly evaluate something you don't agree with while at the same time wanting to reject it, is very difficult to do.
